Abstract:
Taylor argues that speakers should declare funding.1 Most journals now demand competing interest to be declared in a full article, but when the abstract of the paper is published on Medline or elsewhere the declaration disappears. We all know that students, journalists, or others should read the full article, but the fact is that many people only read the abstract of many papers. Conflict of interest should always be included-including in an abstract.
